Over a Diana lens?  Ok back to myths and debunking them.  I process
all of my films using stainless steel tanks - I can't use the plastic
worth beans anyway.  BUT I was under the impression that infrared
light came through plastic tanks - so wouldn't it come through plastic
cameras?  Is it because the Konica is not as infrared sensitive as the
Kodak HIE?  I haven't tried the Konica yet, but would be definitely
interested in trying it in a Holga and/or Diana.  I'm new to the world
of plastic cameras and, so far, I love them.
